Welcome to Saphe and the tra󰀩c alarm Saphe Drive
Thank you for choosing Saphe Drive.
About Saphe
Saphe A/S was founded in 2015 by Freddy Sørensen, a Danish entrepreneur, who holds a Master of
Science in Engineering (MSE). The company currently has 18 employees. More than 500,000 units
have been sold in Scandinavia since the product was launched on the market. The sheer number of
Saphe units sold means that we are able to o󰀨er the largest network of users, and the best platform
for sharing tra󰀩c data on the market.
Saphe A/S is a tech company based in North Jutland, Denmark, that develops, manufactures and
sells intelligent tra󰀩c systems both in Denmark, and in Europe. Our aim is to increase tra󰀩c safety by
helping motorists communicate better with each other through sharing tra󰀩c data. We develop tried
and tested solutions that can make a di󰀨erence and signicantly reduce the number of tra󰀩c related
accidents.
Our vision is to become the preferred community within the elds of tra󰀩c safety and mobility in North-
ern Europe.
About Saphe Drive
Saphe Drive, which has an advanced screen, is a tra󰀩c alarm that helps increase tra󰀩c safety. The
system is comprised of a device that is placed in the car, which connects to an app on your smart
phone via Bluetooth, and, is thus able to warn you about tra󰀩c hazards, accidents, and speed control
cameras ahead.

Pairing your phone and Saphe Drive
Before you can start using Saphe Drive in your vehicle, you must make sure to pair Saphe Drive with
your phone. This must be done via the “Saphe Link 2” app and not via the Bluetooth menu on your
phone. To start the pairing process you must do the following:
Temperature e󰀨ect
Saphe Drive becomes a󰀨ected by low and high temperatures, and may display the icons below
should these circumstances occur. The cold icon appears at temperatures around the freezing point
and the hot icon appears when temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius. At these temperatures,
Saphe Drive cannot display alarms, but you will still receive audible alarms.
The cold icon appears at <0
degrees Celsius.
The hot icon appears at +50
degrees Celsius.
Turn on Bluetooth on your
phone.
Start the Saphe Link 2 app. Open “Devices” in the menu
and select the Saphe device
you want to pair the phone
with.
Pairing with several telephones
To pair the Saphe Drive with several phones, you must ensure Bluetooth is turned o󰀨 on the other
phones that have already been paired with the Saphe Drive device. This will facilitate the process, as
Saphe Drive will not attempt to connect with the phones that it has already been paired with.
Before driving
Before driving, you must ensure you understand the di󰀨erent signals that Saphe Drive noties you
about. This will allow you to make sure that Saphe Drive is connected correctly, and that you are ready
to receive alarms in tra󰀩c.
When you get into the car, Saphe Drive starts searching for Bluetooth, then GPS and then a data
connection will be established.
As Saphe Drive connects, the icons for Bluetooth, GPS and data connection will blink one by one,
until they stop and the device has been connected. Once Saphe Drive has connected, it will make a
sound, and you are now ready to start driving.

If Saphe Drive cannot connect, this may be because either the Bluetooth, GPS or data connection
have not been available. If this is the case, then you can read more about the error in the app.
GPS/Location services
On an iPhone, it is important that the Location service for Saphe Link 2 is set to “Always”. This means
that the app is always allowed to turn on the GPS, but it only does so while you are driving. If you
choose “While using”, then Saphe Link 2 will only work if you turn on the app and keep the screen
turned on during your drive.
Check GPS
We recommend using Google Maps to see whether your GPS works. Both the location and the accu-
racy must be correct. The accuracy is viewed as a radius on the transparent circle that surrounds your
location. The accuracy should be less than 50 metres, and preferably 10 - 20 metres.

Display
Saphe Drive has two main screens: the Home Screen and the Alarm Screen. The Home Screen is
only displayed if there are no incidents nearby, and it works as an extra speedometer. If there is an
alarm nearby, which has already been set up by other users or received from a third party, then the
Alarm Screen will be displayed. This is where you receive information about the type of alarm you
are approaching, and your current distance to the alarm. Your current speed will also still be shown.
Conrm Alarm
The Home Screen The Alarm Screen
There are four alarms that can be conrmed. They are the same alarms you can set-up: Congestion,
Speed Camera, Hazard and Car on shoulder. When an alarm is to be conrmed, an arrow will appear
below your current speed, and you conrm the alarm by pressing the centre button. If the alarm is no
longer relevant, then you do not need to take any further action. Saphe’s control system ensures the
alarm is deactivated if it hasn’t been conrmed after a while.
Note: You will be able to conrm the alarm approx. 300 metres before you reach it. However, we en-
courage you to rst conrm the alarm when you are right next to the alarm in question. This will allow
us to make the location of the alarm more accurate, so we can forward the exact location to other
users.

Set up alarm
Simply press a side button to set up either a Speed Cam-
era alarm or a Hazard alarm.
Press the side buttons for a few seconds to enter the
Set-up menu.
Navigate by using the side buttons and conrm the alarm
type by pressing the centre button.
In case you experience an incident that has not yet been reported, you have the opportunity to set
it up yourself. You can set up four di󰀨erent types of alarms: Congestion. Speed Camera, Hazard
and Car on shoulder. You can use the side buttons as hot keys to set up either a Speed Camera
alarm or Hazard alarm. Press the left side button one time to set up Speed Camera, or the right side
button to set up a Hazard.
If you would like to set up a Congestion alarm or a Car on Shoulder alarm, then press one of the
side buttons for a few seconds. If you press the left side button for a few seconds, then the Set-up
menu will appear, and it will initially display Congestion. If you press the right side button for a few
seconds, then the menu will display Car on shoulder. When you are in the Set-up menu, you can
use the side buttons to navigate. Conrm your choice by pressing the centre button and the alarm is
set up. The GPS coordinates for the alarm are calculated from the time you press the side buttons.

Alarms when abroad
Saphe Drive also works abroad. At the end of 2018, Saphe’s tra󰀩c community had more than 500,000
users reporting and sharing tra󰀩c information throughout Europe.
Saphe Drive allows you to receive alarms for all xed speed cameras (automatic cameras in xed
locations) throughout the world, i.e. over 60,000. There are a few countries where providing warnings
about speed cameras is illegal, these include: Turkey, Switzerland, Cypress and Macedonia.
Placement on the air vent grate. Placement on the instrument panel. Placement on the window.
Installation of Saphe Drive
Saphe Drive comes with a holder in two di󰀨erent angles. The device should be installed so it is always
within your range of vision and your reach. The holder can either be mounted on the windscreen or on
the instrument panel. Ensure that Saphe Drive is not covered by the sun visor.
Should the accompanying holder not t your car, then you can purchase any third-party magnetic
mobile telephone holder. Saphe A/S accepts no liability for damage or problems that have occurred
through the use of a third-party holder.
Note: You should set up the incident when you are right next to the given alarm type. This will allow
us to make the location more accurate, so we can forward the exact location to other users.

Maintenance
Battery
Saphe Drive contains a rechargeable battery, which is charged using a Micro B USB cable. The av-
erage motorist will be able to use Saphe Drive for approximately 3-6 months, before a recharge is
required. A full battery charge takes approx. 8 hours, and we recommend that you bring Saphe Drive
inside and charge it overnight. This will ensure the device is ready for use the following day.
Firmware updates
During the course of its lifespan, Saphe Drive will need to have new rmware updates. In addition to
improvements, updates will also contain new features that are released concurrently with the devel-
opment of these features. When a new rmware update is available, Saphe Link 2 will notify you of
this: Enter the app to start the updating process.
Note: Saphe Drive must have enough power to be able to run the update. The app will notify you if
there isn’t enough power to complete the update.
Disclaimer
Saphe A/S disclaims itself from all liability in association with tra󰀩c safety and potential speeding
tickets. Saphe A/S cannot be held liable if you receive a speeding ticket whilst using Saphe Link 2.
